CardValet® is Now at Your Service and Fingertips at Bank of Utah

There is nothing worse than finding fraudulent charges on your debit card. Suddenly, you feel vulnerable every time you pull your card out to make a purchase and it takes time to reestablish that sense of security with the stores and bank to whom you give your business. Reading the latest news headlines and realizing hackers are constantly inventing new ways to breach systems and steal your information can add to your nervousness. And, when fraudulent charges occur, there is often a lengthy process consisting of phone calls, signing papers, waiting for processing and sometimes even scheduling an in-person appointment to remedy the problem.

Bank of Utah understands the potential difficulties that can accompany debit cards and is now offering a great tool for debit card holders that will replace the headaches with peace of mind. The new CardValet® app gives the control back to you, the card holder, and allows you to tailor settings on your debit card right from your smartphone or tablet, regardless if you are at home or traveling.
